UEFA FFP investigation - CAS decision to be announced Monday, 13th July 9.30am BST

[TheRemainsOfTheDave]

I'm sure that will all be revealed if this goes to a proper court of law (which isn't a slight on CAS but they're an arbitration service not a court).

By which time they'll have revealed their "evidence"?

Accurate, tho' :-).

Well you see only a blue can say that lol

This has a strong whiff of City about to do an almighty “If you think WE’VE been doing something naughty, wait until you see what’s been going on at other clubs!”

Looking forward to when the UEFA anthem is played at our home game v Madrid.

This is never going to end now. Whoever comes 5th and possibly 7th or 8th could appeal if City win their CAs appeal, and there is not way it will be close to an end before next season starts, unless it is a negative decision for City and City then take it on the chin.

It is not about fair value anymore, it is whether or not city 'lied', and will be open to interpretation.

Those wanting to bet a R. Madrid qualifying, jump on 17/10, city still big favourites. It is a good price for RM given relative form without all this going on.

Finish FIFTH and get into the ‘Champions’ League. Says it all for me.

Great to see Browny coming out to bat for City in the media, at times like these its easy for people to keep schtum.

This has made the rest of the season really interesting for me, we're going to find out quite a lot about the players & manager in the remaining games.

I'm hoping we see a bit of anger on the pitch tbh. I think we have a good core of good lads in the squad who know what going on and will play the long game.

So let me get this right.. we have been found guilty of bending the rules...fined 30 million but the organisation that has implemented there statement to the world labeling us cheats for won't actually release any documentation to the world to read and make there own minds up and won't when it goes to to CAS....seems a perfectly legit legal system to me ....YOUR GUILTY...WHY?...BECAUSE WE SAY SO....OK CAN YOU SHOW US AND THE WORLD YOUR EVIDENCE...NO WE DONT WORK LIKE THAT

If they don't release the info when it goes to CAS they will simply lose. We would have no case to answer too. If the prosecution offer no evidence, no problem.

They probably could but I assume we won't as any ban would be better sooner rather than later. Also I would assume we will try to make life a bit easier for the CAS to try and paint UEFA as the bad guys.

CAS will almost certainly want this dealt with before next season though. However, like it's been mentioned, there are courts beyond CAS that could delay the ruling even longer. So the club do have options in terms of a time frame.

Still expect an outcome before next season though.

This will impact hugely on this season's Premier League because teams will be fighting for places without knowing where they have to finish to achieve a spot in the CL. Not that easy to plan games when you don't know if the target is 4th or 5th place. Fans will not know where the finish line is. What a bloody mess.
